i didn't sleep last night, dan. >> look at this. each of these american swimmers winning gold. and getting them all in 13 minutes. did you watch michael phelps. second-to-last. and then, the surge. >> and here comes phelps to the wall. >> and that, folks, is why he is number one. what a way to finish out his solo career. >> you know it's good when the announcers start to hyperventilate a little bit. that's a good sporting event right there. phelps said he is retiring, which would make that his last solo race ever. if you were on the edge of your seat, if ron was on the edge of his seat, imagine his mother, debbie. not ron's mother. phelps' mother, debbie. this is seconds after he clenched the win. what an incredible run her son has had. four olympic games. 21 medals, 17 golds, and 1 final

race today. it's a relay race. it's his last ever, or so we're told. or as ron would say, allegedly. i don't know if i -- >> i'm not sure i believe it. >> i'm not sure i believe it, either. >> he says no. but his mom, debbie, wants him to go on to brazil, to the rio games. she has it in her. nerves of steel for a mother. >> listen to your mother. listen to mom. >> on the other side of all that, katie la dechy. what a busy day for england's number one cheerleader, kate, the duchess of cambridge. she deserves a medal for wardrobe changes. she was at several events. changing outfits each time to catch up with time with her prince, william. "gma" is all over the london games. for the latest, let's go to our olympics desk in london and abc's jeffrey kofman.

good morning, jeffrey. >> good morning, bianna from olympic stadium. we keep hearing cheers from behind. it's so exciting. the u.s., number one in the medal count, thanks to incredible performances by person athletes. one in particular. you've talked about him, michael phelps. that guy keeps collecting medals like the rest of us mere mortals collect, i don't know, olympic souvenirs. >> here comes phelps to the wall. gets it done. >> reporter: michael phelps did it again last night. those impossibly long arms churning through the water in the 100-meter butterfly. it was a slow start. but the smile at the end says it all. another gold medal for the world's most decorated olympian. his third at these games. and now, a staggering 17 golds in his olympic career, which he says has come to an end. >> look at missy franklin. she's a body length ahead of the field. >> reporter: just five minutes

before that, missy franklin blew away the competition in the backstroke. getting her third gold, and setting a record. >> this is an incredible week. and i've never been happier. >> reporter: making it clear, as phelps moves on, a new generation of american swimmers is claiming its place on the podium. franklin is just 17. but she's almost an elder statesman, next to america's youngest olympian and youngest cold medalist. 15-year-old katie ledecky. >> it's unbelievable right now. i just blew them away, i guess. >> reporter: let's say that again. she is just 15 years old. 15. i still can't get over that. a couple more notes. the u.s. women's soccer team on the way to holding on to its gold medal status. they made it into the semifinals. and just moments ago, south

african oscar pastorious made history in that stadium behind me. he is the double-amputee who runs on blades. he qualified for the 400 semifinals tomorrow. it's day eight of these olympics. we're halfway through. and so far, fingers crossed, it has been flawless. and for those of us who live here in london, the most incredible thing of all, the weather has cooperated. dan? >> flawless in so many ways. thank you, jeffrey. we appreciate it. let's get to the medal board. one week in the competition. and the u.s. has just pulled ahead in overall medals. topping china, 443- 43-42. china, generally, they do not do that well in the second half of the games when track and field starts. between 1896 and 2008, we won 737 medals in track and field. china, only 15. as we said, michael phelps has one more race tonight, which opens up all sorts of questions

about the end of the phelps era and who will replace him. let's get more from summer sanders, herself a gold medalist. summer, good morning to you. >> good morning. i know. we're saying good-bye to phelps, as he arrived at the games with his phelps-like performance in the 100 butterfly, coming from behind. >> with 21 medals, can we say he's either the greatest olympic swimmer of all-time or perhaps the greatest olympian of all-time. >> we were saying he was the greatest olympian of all-time at 19. and i was calling him the greatest olympian of all-time when he won eight gold medals in one olympics games. you add to the four olympics over that tremendous career. and coming back every, single year, with that grueling training. i do think he's the greatest olympian of all-time. >> so, we're now entering, we

hear, the post-phelps era. is there any chance that the conspiracy theorists might be right and he will come back and follow his mother's advice and swim in the next olympics? >> i think that's so interesting that debbie phelps has asked her son -- or told her son he should come back for rio. i think this is the end of an era. it's difficult for an athlete to come back and continue the training for four years. it's amazing to see phelps win medals when he said he sort of slacked off in his training over the past few years. that's a reason for him to go and enjoy himself. i guess build a case big enough for what's probably going to be 22 medals at the end of these games. and enjoy being on that side of swimming. i don't think he'll separate himself from swimming. i think he wants to be an ambassador for the sport. he wants to grow it. and he already has. >> if this is phelps on minimal training, i can only imagine what he would be like with more.

>> isn't that amazing? >> summer, so great to have you. we appreciate it. i'm sure we'll talk to you tomorrow. from swimming to the next phase of the olympics. track and field begins today. and history has already been made this morning, when oscar pastorious, the double-amputee, called the blade runner, qualified for the semifinals just hours ago. we heard that from jeffrey kofman. for this and other athletes to watch, let's bring in world medalist, dan o'brien, who is also a sports analyst at the summer games. good morning. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. my pleasure to be here. >> what a moment for oscar. it's been such a feat for him to participate in these games. how is it going for him? >> you know, oscar's been making history for years. he became a very controversial athlete, just prior to these olympics, when michael johnson said, there's a paralympic games. that's where oscar should be running. not at the able-bodied games. he is well-known in the track

community. and he's a legend for paralympic athletes. >> who are the american track and field stars to watch here? >> i think right away, the women's 100 meters has a chance to make history. carmalita jetter is going to be one to watch. and shawn jaret, not finishing in the 100 meters. in the decathlon side, an event i know very well, ashton eaton has a chance to continue in the decathlon. women's sprinting, the decathlon. and look for young faces if the men's triple jump. will clay, christian taylor, could come away with medals there. it's all about track and field for team usa. >> we can't talk about track and field, without talking about the fastest man in the world, usain bolt from jamaica. what can we expect from him

today? >> mystery shrouds usain bolt. he has a posse around him. rumor has he's not 100%. but i don't think it matters. everybody will be watching him run. he's the biggest star at these games. can he run 100%? johannes blake is the best jamaican right now. i'm not sure the americans can contend with them. but if there is an american who can, i think it will be justin gallon. he comes up with big performances when he needs them. >> we appreciate your time this morning. thanks for joining us. >> glad to be here. with her cute nickname and a megawatt smile as bright as her gold medals, is it any wonder that advertisers are falling over themselves to get a piece of gabby douglas? the tens of millions she could make. coming up in the show. now, to a developing disaster back here at home. an out-of-control wildfire in oklahoma. another day of red-hot, bone-dry

conditions. they are dealing with evacuations and the possibility this could be a case of arson. ginger zee is on the story. >> good morning, everyone. there's more than a dozen fires now burning in oklahoma. but we are focusing in on just one. northeast of oklahoma city, where they have a long, grueling day ahead. oklahoma, up in flames. dozens of homes and buildings, including a day-care center, torched. throughout the night, an all-out battle to contain the fire, now spread out across 80-square miles. >> fire is slowing down, due to weather conditions. we have units and sources coming in to help us. >> reporter: more than 100 people forced to leave their homes. >> i don't want to lose my home. you know? i don't want my neighbor to lose his house. >> reporter: helicopters dumped water on the blaze with the help of more than 30 fire departments. the biggest challenge? the record 113-degree heat.

that, coupled with strong winds and grasslands dried out from a brutal drought was a recipe for a fiery disaster. and all of this, authorities now believe, the results of an arsonist. investigators have reports of someone in a black ford pickup truck, tossing burning newspapers out their window. >> we have that this was intentionally set. we're going under that premise. we're trying to locate the vehicle. >> reporter: despite the approaching fire, some people stayed in their homes, resisting evacuation orders, in the hopes that weather conditions continue in their favor. >> i think we're going to be okay. my sister-in-law has houses all around her up in flames. if you ever get this close, it will sure open your eyes. >> today is far from perfection, weather-wise, when it comes to the fires ahead. a strong wind ahead of the cold front. by the time the cold front passes, we'll get rid of 100 degrees and drop into the 90s tomorrow.

we're watching tropical storms. and i say storms because there will likely be two by the end of today. ernesto is the closest. will it hit the u.s.? i'll have that information coming up. >> we'll get more from ginger in a few minutes. let's check the overnight headlines. ron claiborne is here with that. >> i am here. good morning, everyone. we begin with evidence that southeastern president bashar al assad's grip on power may be slipping. appealing to russia for financial aid and supplies, such as oil. the united nations denounced syria's crackdown on the anti-government rebels there. the symbolic vote does not call for new sanctions against syria. and president obama's campaign office in oakland, california, was vandalized last night. 100 occupy protesters in downtown oakland, smashed a window, leaving shattered glass over the sidewalk.

they broke several car windows. and people turned out for the culture war sparked by the chick-fil-a restaurant chain. gay rights advocates staged a kiss-in, snapping photos of themselves kissing in front of the restaurant. this comes a couple of days after people went to the restaurant showing support for the anti-gay marriage. you saw "snakes on a plane." a swarm of thousands of bees gathered on the wing of a delta airlines plane, delaying its takeoff from pittsburgh airport. a beekeeper had to remove them. it's the fourth swarm removed from pittsburgh's airport this year. weird. preventing a plane from taking off because of bees. i don't get it. but it happened. >> made for nice photos. >> true story. this one's true. >> not allegedly. all right, ron.

thank you. we're turning to politics now. "your voice, your vote." president obama and mitt romney hitting each other hard over the new jobs report. employers added 163,000 jobs in july. that's more than twice the job growth in the previous month. but the unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3%. and david kerley has the story from washington. david, not surprising that the two candidates are focusing on different numbers out of this report. >> reporter: absolutely. the question is, is that report good news or bad news. and it depends on if you're the democrat or the republican running for president. >> we continue to have 23 million americans out of work. >> reporter: mitt romney works knows his path to the white house is the economy. so, he spun the jobs report as bad news. >> another hammer blow to the struggling middle-class families of america. >> reporter: it's true, the unemployment rate went up. and it's been over 8% for more than three years. but for the president, the jobs report was good news because the private sector continues to add jobs. not enough.

but -- >> that means that we've now created 4.5 million new jobs over the last 29 months. and 1.1 million new jobs so far this year. >> reporter: these job reports are so important, and there's only three more before the election, that both candidates stood before cameras at nearly the exact same time. but which message is sticking? the president claiming the numbers are growing slowly in the right direction, is pleading for patience. >> we haven't had to come back from economic crisis this deep or this painful since the 1930s. >> reporter: but there's another statistic from the depression. no president has been re-electioned with unemployment above 8%. so, romney keeps hammering. >> the president's policies have not work because he thinks government makes america work. he's wrong. >> david, if things weren't heated enough, comments made earlier in the week from senator harry reid, saying someone from

bain capital told him that romney didn't pay taxes for ten years are still making waves. >> reporter: big waves. romney has had enough of that. yesterday, as he was talking about the jobs report, he called out harry reid and said, put up or shut up. who is your source? let me know. democrats love this. mitt romney talking about his taxes instead of talking more about the jobs report and the economy. >> harry reid, always one to speak his mind. david, thank you. dan? this morning, the 911 calls that provide a terrifying glimpse into a public emergency involving a pair of escaped chimps. these animals may be cute. they may be our closest relatives. but they're unpredictable, ferocious, and seven-times as strong as a human. ron is back with this story. >> on the audiotapes, you can hear the fear in the voice of the people who called police after seeing, and in some cases being threatened by the two rampaging chimps in a residential neighborhood.

>> they're wandering down the street. they are dangerous. bring shotguns. i'm serious. they are wild animals. >> reporter: they were two, large, adults chimpanzees, terrorizing a las vegas neighborhood, for more than an hour. >> you said they're chimpanzees. >> yes. they're chimpanzees. >> reporter: police yesterday released the 911 calls from frantic onlookers, fearful for their lives. >> they're outside. they're in the front yard. they're in the front yard. will you please get somebody? >> reporter: the chimps, a male named buddy, and a female named c.j., had been local celebrities, appearing at local events, where people pay to hold and be photographed with them. on the morning of their spree, they battered their way out of the 800-square-foot compound they shared behind a private home in northwest vegas. neighbors say one chimp reached for a car handle. another banged on a police car. >> i know these animals are dangerous. >> reporter: eventually, the

150-pound male chimp was shot and killed when he veered toward a crowd of onlookers, which included several children. the female was sedated and is in the process of being relocated to a chimp sanctuary in oregon. lawmakers are calling for new laws that would ban people from keeping most dangerous animals in their home. back to you. >> as we were discussing, they look so cute. but they really are very dangerous. >> seven-times as strong as a human. >> they had a permit to have the animals. >> ron, thank you. time for the weather, now. and back to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, everybody. minneapolis, will likely break a record today, if they hit 80, which they should. it would be the 40th day in a row they hit 80 or above. that hasn't happened ever. minneapolis is where we begin, too, because we had severe storms yesterday. let's look at what happens when you put a 55-mile-per-hour wind against some of the trees in minneapolis. the city seeing lightning, thunder. that action, all of that energy, now dying to the southeast.

and cities like chicago, green bay, and st. louis, all in the heart of it here today. indianapolis and detroit, i need you to be on high alert, as well. watch your local abc stations, especially this afternoon and evening. there's a big contrast of hot and cold coming through. maybe you want to hear that cooler weather's coming. with it will come severe storms. speaking of heating up, the tropics and ernesto will become a hurricane by late sunday, into early monday. by thursday, it slips through the yucatan. and will it hit the u.s.? that's the next big question. this is pretty far out. some of the computer models take it into south texas. we'll be watching this like hawks. we're also watching like hawks, this storm, tropical depression number six, will likely become tropical storm florence. we have so much to look forward to and look at. we'll be covering this throughout the weekend and going into the work week. sam will be on with us. i'll leave you with the heat sticking around in the plains and the southwest.

>> until this weekend, seattle and parts of the pacific northwest haven't had much in the way of summer. wait until you see how warm they are. that's coming up in my next weather. >> and oklahoma greats a break tomorrow. >> tomorrow. coming up here in the broadcast, the angry wife who says her husband tried to fake his own drowning in order to get away from her. she is now speaking out and not mincing words. plus, the flying squirrel

smart on the rocks? i know. we're going to begin with a fake drowning, a speeding ticket and one very angry wife. a new york man disappeared last saturday, setting off a massive search, only to resurface days later in south carolina. and it turns out, he left quite a trail of evidence. abc's john schriffen is here to unravel the story. good morning, john. >> reporter: bianna, good morning. the woman whose husband may have taked his own death, held a press conference to reveal text messages, e-mails and bank statements from him, outlining a plat allegedly to embezzle money. it was all foiled thursday, when police in south carolina pulled him over for speeding. >> it's anger. it's sadness. it's the public that went out to try to save a man that was not there. >> evana roth is speaking out

about her husband of 14 years, 47-year-old raymond roth, who, until days ago, she thought had been dead for a week. it saturdayed last saturday, when roth's son reported him missing from this beach. when only his shoes, keys, cell phone and wallet were found onshore, an intense search was launched. when he was nowhere to be found, evana said she planned a week planning his funeral. until she found these e-mails, details what she says is a plot between father and son to fake his death. >> it was a shock. wednesday through e-mails and ended up finding that. >> reporter: according to her attorney, as far back as january, raymond roth began his plans to get away. plans which, evana now says, clearly didn't include her. >> he made a will on wednesday. he emptied out my account friday, saturday morning. up to the time when supposedly, we think this poor man is

drowning in the water. >> reporter: in one potentially damning e-mails dated friday morning, the day before roth was reported missing he writes, quote, there needs to be a way for me to find out how things are going. call me sunday night at 8:00 p.m. at the resort. that resort was here in orlando, florida, where he was reportedly staying to lay low. in other e-mail, roth gives scathing instructions about the home which is for sale. do not allow that expletive to give the house away. he tells other relatives, you need to whisper in aunt jackie's ear about it. now her husband has been calling and texting, trying to reconcile. she showed reporters one text message that read, quote, i just heard you have a press conference later. be nice. almost 15 years together. and raymond roth was last seen yesterday, driving through his long island neighborhood. but didn't stop because of all

of the media vehicles. he sent his wife a text message saying, quote, the place looks a little crowded. i just drove by. call me later. at this point, authorities have not decided on filing any criminal charges. but, evana, says at this point, she does not want to be married anymore. >> the nerve to send her a text message, too? >> good luck with that reconciliation. we want to follow up in two months to see if they're back together. time to check the other headlines. >> anything is possible. >> that is true. >> good morning, everyone. in the news, bone-dry conditions are fueling a wildfire near oklahoma city that has already destroyed dozens of homes. authorities believe the fire, which has forced hundreds from their houses, was started by an arsonist. the university of colorado has launched an internal investigation into how it handled the movie theater shooting suspect, james holmes. the university has hired a former u.s. attorney to review its procedures. holmes dropped out of the school before allegedly going on the

home the gold in 1996, the endorsement deals poured in. this time around, she says gabby has everything the big brands are looking for. >> that infectious smile and the joy. when you're trying to market a product, that's what you want. >> reporter: from the smile to the spunk, there's more reason for gabby to bring in big bucks. her historic win made her the first african-american woman to win a gold medal in the best all-around. and on top of it all, she's just 16 years old. she could easily come back and do it all over again in four more years. >> for gabby, it's less about the endorsement deal and the numbers she's signing and more about how many kids am i going to inspire? >> gabby's expected to be endorsing products that appeal to a younger, female demographic. she'll probably be hitting the talk show circuit in a matter of days. i'm going to go out on a limb and i vote gabby douglas for next season's "dancing with the stars."

>> for sure. i'm sold. i will buy anything gabby douglas sells. >> i thought you were going to nominate her for president. >> that, too. when she's a little older. >> sheas 20 years. and coming up on "good morning america," is jenny from the block ready to kick her boyfriend to the curb? say it isn't so, dan. >> oh, no.
